The signs read, “Fix my streets. I pay my taxes.” Hundreds of signs have been distributed so far.

“I just think it’s ridiculous,” said Dennis Breaud, who lives in Lakeview. “As much tax money as the city gets from the Lakeview area, it’s sad to see the roads we have to deal with every day.”

The city said there is a long-term plan for roads in Lakeview, which includes $28 million in repairs. Phase 1 has already been completed, while phase 2 is set to begin in fall 2014 and last for the next two years.

Residents, however, said they want to see it to believe it.

“It needs to happen,” said Matt Fletcher, who lives in Lakeview. “The fact that we are still talking about fixing streets from Katrina almost 10 years later is absurd.”

Januszek said the problem extends beyond Lakeview.

“We got people from all over New Orleans to come out to Lakeview,” he said. “It’s not just a Lakeview problem. Everybody has a story about a pothole no matter where they are.”
